The Illinois State Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has received a petition from The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company (Peoples Gas) to initiate a reconciliation proceeding for Rider VBA of its Schedule of Rates for Gas Service. This filing, dated March 20, 2026, seeks to determine the accuracy of the company's Rider VBA reconciliation statement. This is a routine procedural step for utilities to adjust rates based on actual costs versus amounts collected.

While this is a petition to initiate a proceeding, it represents a step in the regulatory process for Peoples Gas. Compliance officers should note that this filing is the beginning of a reconciliation review. Further actions or specific compliance requirements will depend on the outcome of the PUC's administrative law judge review and any subsequent orders or directives issued by the Commission regarding the reconciliation statement.
